Easter weekend recap...

our weekend began thursday nite with a sleepover! corinn had her BFF over...after playing & eating dinner outside, then taking a neighborhood walk till it got dark, the girls had a great time staying up late & watching movies (remember, they were on spring break as well)

then friday eve, we enjoyed another cool spring evening & took a walk thru town again (something that becomes a regular thing 4 us as the weather gets warm) - this time with my sister & nephew

saturday was our family Easter dinner in WVa...we rented the community center this year, cause my grandma's house just ain't big enuff any more! of course, there was TONS of good food!


& plenty of eggs 2 b hunted!

Easter morning, the kiddos found out that the big bunny had indeed stopped by our house! Jaden's fav thing in his bucket was a dino that lays candy eggs ~lol~

all dressed up for Easter service :0)
(darn it if i didn't 4get 2 have some1 snap a pic of the whole fam!)

the day turned out 2 b such a gorgeous one - so we spent most of it outside! the girls had fun riding bikes & playing with our neighbor friend's new puppy

Curtis & Jaden got in some male bonding time b4 dad had 2 go 2 work ;0)

then Jaden & i got busy on building our fire pit...we've had 1 at almost every place we've lived (& thankfully, totally cool landlords)...& now that the weather is getting warm, it's time 2 get geared up 4 campfires!

those big river rocks were HEAVY! but my tough guy took his shirt off & together, we managed 2 get it all set up & ready 4 it's 1st fire...on daddy's next evening off, we're gonna try it out!

later, we headed over 2 Nana & Grandpa's 4 a little play time & go-kart riding

then on 2 Aunt Kelly's 4 some fun on their trampoline!

my sister's husband just got a new toy the day b4 too - i reluctantly let Jaden go 4 a ride...& he loved it!

by the time it was dark & we were all back inside the house, u could tell the week of spring break fun was coming 2 an end...i had 3 very tired & grouchy kiddos - all protesting the thought of having 2 get up & go 2 school this morning! but after baths & some reading, they were all snoring loudly in their beds! ~lol~

then this morning, something happened that totally rocked my world...my youngest child woke up & announced that she had her 1st loose tooth! :0( sure enuff, i wiggled it & discovered that i could probably have popped it out with just 1 tug! but Corinn declined, stating "that's ok, it'll fall out on its own"


ok, seriously - how is this happening?! 1st she had 2 go off & start school on me...& now this?! i don't know how much more of this growing up stuff i can take! :0(

i hope u all had a fabulous Easter weekend - wherever u r!


& i pray that it was filled with tons of time spent with family...praising Jesus Christ, our risen King, 4 the unbelievable gift He's given us!!!

how awesome is it that HE paid the price for OUR sins?!
